EXID’s Hani, Kwak Si Yang, And Kim Min Kyu Confirmed To Star In New JTBC Drama

TV/Film

Jul 7, 2021

by L. Kim

 

EXID’s Hani, Kwak Si Yang, and Kim Min Kyu are confirmed to star in JTBC’s new drama “Idol: The Coup” (literal title)!

The drama portrays the last story of “doomed idols” who need a single “success” in order to “disband.” It will tell a story about young people who confidently let go of their dreams as they grow through their failures and take courageous steps towards their new goals.

“Idol: The Coup” will be directed by No Jong Chan, whose works include “Personal Taste,” “Cruel Palace – War of Flowers,” and “Clean with Passion for Now,” and scripted by Jung Yoon Jung of “Tale of Arang,” “Monstar,” “Incomplete Life,” and “Bride of the Water God.”

Hani will play the role of Kim Je Na, a member of the six-year-old idol group Cotton Candy that is considered a failure. Kwak Si Yang will take the role of Cha Jae Hyuk, the CEO of Cotton Candy’s agency Starpeace Entertainment, who is considered to be a cold “human calculator.” Kim Min Kyu will star as Seo Ji Han, a member of the popular idol group Mas that is also housed under Starpeace Entertainment.

Professional producers, artists, and creators will collaborate to create the music and performances in the drama. As a result, expectations are high for the quality of this new music drama. In addition, Transparent Arts (where Far East Movement and Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany are housed under), TAKE2 MEDIA GROUP (that produced dramas like JTBC’s “Age of Youth 2” and KBS’s “Mother of Mine“), and JTBC Studio will team up to produce the drama.

Kwak Shi-yang, Hani, and Kim Min-kyu to headline new JTBC drama

by tineybeanie

 

JTBC has announced casting information for their latest music drama called IDOL: The Coup. It looks like Kwak Shi-yang (Alice) will be headlining alongside EXID’s Hani (Not Yet Thirty, The Spies Who Loved Me) and Kim Min-kyu. The drama is about a bunch of failed idols who need at least one success to disband.

 

Hani plays a failed idol named Kim Jena from the group Cotton Candy that debuted six years ago. Kwak Shi-yang plays Cha Jae-hyuk, the CEO of the entertainment agency that manages Cotton Candy. Known as the “Human Calculator,” he’s extremely shrewd and cold. Finally, Kim Min-kyu has been cast as Seo Ji-han, an idol member of the trendy, popular group Mas that’s also managed by Kwak Shi-yang’s company.

The drama tells the story of the boldness of youths as they pursue their dreams and meet failure head on. It’s also about learning how to choose different paths in life when things don’t go according to plan.

 

According to reports, the performances and music in the drama will be specially overseen by creative experts in the industry. Specifically, Transparent Arts (that manages artists like Far East Movement and Tiffany) has joined hands with TAKE2 Media Group (that produced Age of Youth 2) and JTBC Studios, so hopefully, we’ll be in for a banging OST.

Written by Jung Yoon-jung (Bride of the Water God) and directed by Noh Jong-chan (Clean With Passion for Now), JTBC’s upcoming drama IDOL: The Coup will begin airing in the latter half of this year.

I am familiar only with Kwak Si Yang. I saw Hani in drama The Spies Who Loved Me but I don`t really remember her role there. And Kim Min Kyu is a rookie. This is his first role.

I am interested because of the Misaeng writer and I think the music will be fine.

Actor Kwak Si-yang has been confirmed to appear in the JTBC drama 'IDOL (Idol: The Coup)' as the main character.

 

 

Starhouse Entertainment, the agency, announced on the 7th, "Actress Kwak Si-yang will play the main character Cha Jae-hyuk in the JTBC drama 'IDOL (Idol: The Coup)'".

@larus I'm going to check this for same reasons

 

Kwak Si Yang. I'm going to watch him again after 2015 Perservere Goo Hae Ra, and Oh My Ghost. That's the only two drama I've seen him and wach  all throughout.

 

In PGHR he played an idol wannabe embroiled in controversy and it showed politics behind making an idol. It's  brutal  IRL. ...but we don't get to see the inner workings only the finished product of an idol. 

 

the plot... "The drama portrays the last story of “doomed idols” who need a single “success” in order to “disband.” It will tell a story about young people who confidently let go of their dreams as they grow through their failures and take courageous steps towards their new goals."

 

We have Misaeng writer at helm of this drama. Hope we see a good drama. I'll watch out for this. Thanks larus.

I saw him in Chicago Typewriter and Alice and variety show We Got Married. I am glad he will be a lead character in this new drama.

 

I wish the writer will create a good drama. We can only hope.
